There is no module for this yet. Theoretically it should not be a problem to program something like this.

We plan to integrate mapserver by the end of 2003. The plans are to define a new datatype which you can use in classes. This datatype will hold parameters which are then used to control a query to mapserver.

We are not sure how to implement the client side: either with the mapscript (php libraries exist) or by controlling a java applet (more work for the template side).

Mapserver link (also open source):
